How many people do you "ignore"?

[Downunderwonder]

In this thread that happens, but in other threads you never see the post unless you click to see what you're ignoring.
I have one person on ignore. I can tell when they post in a thread as I'll see an option to show ignored content at the bottom of the page. As long as I don't click that, the post never shows and any responses to it don't show either.

That's how mine works too. Probably a preferences menu option.

Most of the annoying ones are on here for just that. Sometimes I don’t even think they play bass.

I think there is a correlation & have noticed the folks who seem to be intent on getting under other people's skin almost never have anything to contribute to the actual gear or technique discussions.

28 - not because of their opinions, but their bad attitude or they just waffle on.

Must not take much to set you off if you really have that many on an ignore list.

Which makes me wonder how you handle being stuck in traffic, long lines at checkouts, crappy weather, etc...... you know, day to day real life?

I've got a feeling this is going to devolve, so g'bye...

I think you missed the point - it's a TIME issue. I'm a Doctor and run my own business.

0, I can read their posts and choose to ignore them.

I believe I am on one person's ignore list after a little incident one night where I'd maybe had a shandy or two too many.

5. Should be more.

 

[FingerDub]

2 and a 3rd one is coming.

None. When they write something stupid, I just smile. We all need entertainment.

None. If someone’s behavior is so bad it makes the forum admins want to ignore them, it usually means we need to watch them even more closely.

Wouldn't it make sense to use it as a reverse tagging feature? ''You are ignoring this member'' so you don't miss anything? Or you got your own moderator naughty list?

 

[slobake]

Like many others have said I can ignore people without using the ignore feature. Better not to respond to trollish behavior, if you feed them they will be back for more. Sometimes I forget that myself.
It is good to remember that I might get under people's skin myself, that helps me give others more slack.

 

[lowplaces]

I just looked. I had 23 people on ignore.

I can't even remember why I put them on ignore so I took them off lol.

Well said about trolls. Acknowledge them and they win.

I kinda use the ignore feature as a gentle reminder to myself that I don't interact with someone -- the "do not feed the trolls" rule. I can always click "show ignored content" if I'm curious. I can usually tell which kinds of threads will attract the people on my list.

A fair number on my list have been banned.

 

[toowrongfoo]

In my short time here, it's not many. But I ignore the following: People that kiss ass, people that troll, people that have bad avatars (like a smoking child or "thug life" )

Outside of that, I love my brotha's from another motha.........

 

[toowrongfoo]

BTW, I'm not surprised that "zero" is most popular as this is a mo' mellow place that some others. But two votes for carrots? COME ON MAN! You ain't been payin' attention!

 

[the harp unstrung]

Nun...it’s Aalll good...

 

[GIBrat51]

I think the most people I've ever had on my "ignore" list at once was 3... or was it 4? I forget... Never for very long, though; not intentionally, anyway. I tend to forget that they're on there. I should check it more often, I guess... I use "ignore" kinda like fdeck does; more as a way for me to cool off, than anything else. If I don't see their avatar/posts for for a while, I tend to forget who they are, and what the whole thing was about. And, at my age, that doesn't seem to take very long anymore... And, as for carrots? I always vote for carrots...

 

[dtripoli]

What? You can ignore people on this website?
Nobody told me that.
For now on, any person that disagrees with my thoughts are here by banned.
